non doll art...

In an effort to showcase a more diverse view of my art beyond the doll clothing, I present: "art around the house." I love to paint and collage. So, every once in a while I will present my 2D artwork. Here are a few examples.

This first piece is a People magazine cover where i have altered Julia Roberts face.

A vintage Ken wearing an English wool sweater with a swirl pleated skirt and a Dolly Parton inspired raw cotton blossom wig.

Blaine wearing a mint blue and purple satin "Nina Simone" inspired ensemble. Drinking heavily, he later moved to France.

Red Carpet Ken

Vintage Ken hits the red carpet sans eyebrows in a shiney synthetic uni-batwing sweater and print silk oriental patterened skirt. Joan Rivers hated the straw hat. He took that as a compliment.

Francie is all about MOD MOD MOD! She wears a one sleeve, off the shoulder sweater and a gathered pleated skirt. Winter Holiday bag and matching hat complete the look!

Mod Talking Ken has lost his head over this pleated Western style skirt. It reminds me of what kd lang used to wear when she was just starting out. Boots and t shirt by Mattel.

This is a Mattel Flavas Tre doll wearing a wool sweater and pleated skirt ensemble. The hat is felt with a paper flower accent. The plaid bag is vintage Barbie from the outfit Winter Holiday. The necklace is Swarofski beads. The boots, Mattel for Ken.

Prada Ken

This Ken is wearing a wool sweater, Mattel headphones, and a skirt made from a pair of mens Prada pants. At least I think they are Prada. I found the pant legs in a package my friend, Clint, sent me from New York years ago. All in all, it's a pretty good look.

Flamboyant Ken

My first image on my first blog!

This is a current Ken doll wearing a varigated yarn sweater with puffy sleeves. I wish the yarn was wool or cotton, but it is a cheap synthetic. I just loved the colors. His skirt and hat are made from scraps of cotton material used from another project. The look is finished with a cheap Claire's Boutique earring and red "socks" adorned with paper flowers.
